    Interesting. What exactly is the problem?

    xtar wp2 ii question

    You will be able to charge them full tilt. True IMRs can handle it. From Andy Wan's 'office'. You'll note that at it's higher charge setting, even with the smallest IMR16340 you are at only 67% of the max rate.

    Best 18650 batteries?

    AW has a rather extensive line of batteries, with many IMRs, two of their 18650Li-Ions are Panasonic. Panasonic doesn't even make true IMRs. The bulk of AW's batteries are made in China.

    Why bother with the SS? Nicotime's experiment from 2 1/5 years ago.

    18650 UltraFire Batteries at Radio Shack

    Panasonic makes some of the most overrated cells on the planet. The top is an Xtar/Sanyo 2600, the bottom (which is where it belongs) is a Pansonic 2900. I've marked in red where they hit 3.5 and 3.25V. The Panasonic eeks out a measly 1600mAh @3.5V vs. the Xtar's 2400mAh, Put it...

    telescope mod help

    Mechanical switch PVs are a joke. Banging some brass screw (or other base metal) against a battery means ongoing, constant maintenance is needed to maintain optimum performance. Insulating oxides form rather quickly and you usually end up with a very small point of contact. These forums are...

    LT1.5 VS Zmax

    I guess. You are using a device with no true regulation that has a range of ~4-6V and tops out at about ~2.3A. If it suits you needs, that's good.

    Just received my AGA-T

    With a properly wrapped coil oxidation becomes less of a factor. In Petar K's method of pre-wrapping his coil then dropping in a wick he doesn't do any of the fancy oxidation dance. He just rolls it and gives a it quick flaming.

    will this torch work for oxidizing mesh wicks for a rebuildable atomizer? & a couple other questions pertaining to using rebuildable atomizers

    Naw, check your ohms at the atty connector where it will attach to the PV. You ALWAYS want to check the resistance of the complete assembly/path/circuit, not just the coil/wick.

    Is SLB reliable?

    SLB/DSE has a long history of making second rate junk. Their original 510 copies where not held in high regard. Their DSE905, a Screwdriver copy was a joke. I think it went thru 5 revisions. They also make lame atties and cartos that no one ever recommends.

    DUD Metal taste?

    Should be alright, you don't have a gas stove I take it. Petar K with his pre-roll the coil method doesn't really do any of the typical oxidizing stuff, just a quick swipe. Try adding a bit of extra juice to the wick/coil and light it up (in flames) a few times and see if that helps. Just be...

    The Gecko 2.0

    A punch? :) Here's a Panasonic high drain vs. a protected TF26650 at a very healthy 3A drain. Good first punch, but it's the TF26650 for the knock-out. :ohmy: Food for thought.

    painting a mod?

    walmart Rust-Oleum-Self-Etching-Primer Auto parts stores should have it also. Many folks paint/re-paint aluminum wheeels.

    Looks nice. Now get to work and make one that uses a 26650. :)

    18650 UltraFire Batteries at Radio Shack

    Interesting. Seems many of the problems come from cheap counterfeits, giving UF a bad name. From an UltraFire site.

    Didya use a primer first? The self-etching would be the way to go.

    Quick question on throat sensitivity

    No one can give you a definitive answer. Easy enough to try though. FWIW VG is not the universal panacea most like to claim. For me I get a 'heavy lung' feeling from too much VG.

    The Bolt & Cartos

    Your question is a bit vague. If by that you mean they don't fire at all it could simply be a connection issue. The positive posts of the cartos aren't making contact with the positive post in the Bolt. Atomizer and Cartomizer Connection Problems | Vaping Guides to the Electronic Cigarette
